Can it remove mold from fabric or leather? I had some items in storage and I'd like to not have to throw them away. Thanks.

I would do a very small test area on the fabric such as a seam allowance that doesn't show, and I would watch it very carefully and rinse thoroughly. It does have some bleaching properties so be careful. You might want to use a Q-tip to apply. I would not use it on leather because I think it would take off any finish or tanning agents on the leather.

J. Joensuu,This stuff is very strong. I have only used it on ceramic tile, stone, or concrete.I think it is too strong for for leather or fabric. I would google "removing mold from leather" for something milder. Sorry

This stuff is bleach on steroids. Personally, I would never think of using it on leather. Get some saddle soap instead. It is going to be slower, but it will not kill the leather. Oddly, furniture cream is a standard leather dressing in use by bookbinders. Alternatively, some non-petroleum based skin cream also works on leather. Do not use petroleum based stuff. It will kill leather. Leather is skin after all.

2.Remove surface mold with damp cloth (mold will wipe off if the leather has been dried out completely).3.Allow leather to dry completly for a second time.4.Clean dried leather thoroughly with leather cleaner or a VERY mild soap like baby shampoo.http://www.google.com/search?q=removing+mold+from+leather

I have used it on the vinyl upholstery on my pontoon and it worked better than anything else I have tried. I rinsed well with buckets of water and it was fine. Not sure about leather.

We have ONLY used it for mold, etc. on ceramic tile in our shower. It's very strong. I don't think it would be a very good idea to use it on fabric or leather.

I don't think you should use this product on any fabric. It says," do not allow x-14 to come in contact with clothing, carpeting, or other fabrics, which may becom discolored or damaged." I'm not sure what kind of products of fabric and leather you have but most likely you would just need to scrub and remove mold with leather cleaner/ baby shampoo . Check on Internet/YouTube!

The short answer: it probably can, but could destroy your things in the process. This product is extremely strong bleach, so don't use it on anything you're not comfortable bleaching. If it were me, I'd use a diluted white vinegar solution to clean mold off fabric or leather. Or, if you have one available, a UV sanitizing wand. I have one and use it to remove mold and germs from things that are not safe to get wet. Good luck!

I think it will work but make sure you rinse it off good and test on a small area first to see if it bleaches the color out.

I haven't used it for mold/mildew smell but I dont see why it wouldn't work since it gets rid of underarm odor, cigarette odor and feet odor smell, dog odor.

If the fabric in question is leather/suede, which I surmise it is as water does not tend to stain fabric, it is highly doubtful. Even experienced cleaners have little if any success in removing water stains on leather products. I have had good success with this in cleaning furs and general cotton fabrics. Nonetheless, you should do a test spot and remember not to rub but rather blot and if possible have a clean cloth on the other side of the fabric when you blot.

I do not know as we don't have leather. I would be worried about leaving a residue behind after removal. I hope someone else can give an experienced answer. Works to keep cats from scratching though!

I cleaned and conditioned my leather furniture with the product. I did not use it on leather clothing; however, the product us for use on "leather."

You should buy the Meltonian leather conditioner. It cleans and condition at the same time. I love it. I use for my beige and white leather purses and they come out clean looking like new.

I would try a small amount of mineral spirits dabbed on the fabric until its gone. If you can launder the item I would then use spray and wash on that spot and wash the item.

I have not found this on my molds. They sometimes have a little whitish tint as if they have dried out. I just wash it off. I use mine for chocolates truffles.

Cleaning it is key, otherwise it will grow mold. You can just put it in the washing machine. I didn't realize it does absorb water, so I didn't catch it in time. Even bleach and the washing machine didn't get rid of the mold.

I found it quite effective on much of the mildew smell but still had to wash linen with washing soda to remove the stain that is left. Mold on the other hand ,it depends on what type of mold as to effectiveness..Hope this was of some help ..

I haven't had any problems with residue on any of my fabrics. You probably can't use it on suade or leather...and I wouldn't use it on a flimsy or open weave material as it would pull the fabric when you remove it. Just test an inconspicuous area first if you have any concerns.

I purchased the clear version, which is the one in the picture. I simply rinsed it myself with cold water and let it air dry. Haven't had any problems with mold or any other issues. It works really well for me. If u place it in the dishwasher -which i haven't tried- I would take it out before the heating cycle for drying kicks in. That heat may be too strong for this item.

I put a liner behind it just in case.... nothing but bleach is mold proof. &gt;.&lt; The fabric is porous so I doubt it.

I've had it 6 months. It's been to countless locker rooms and stored in a plastic bag in a tote during transport. Hasn't accumulated mold or mildew at all. If it did, which I don't think it will, it would probably wipe right off. I'd use a little cleaning vinegar if it's stuck on. Hope this helps!

Great question but no we would not recommend using this on a leather couch. You might want to check with the couch manufacturer for their recommended cleaning method.

No I have not but try washing the stool with vinegar. That may keep the mold from returning
